A lot of beautifully written poetry in this, the artwork was also very simple but portrayed a story in its self.

Oh. My. Ghoul.
Quand je me suis lancée dans cette lecture (en vo); je ne savais pas trop à quoi m'attendre. J'aime bien cette actrice, et j'étais curieuse de la découvrir en tant qu'auteure. Et bien. Je suis tombée amoureuse de sa plume. Tout en simplicité, mais directe. Je n'ai pas les mots. Je l'ai lu en une journée, en une fois. J'adore. Un vrai coup de coeur. Poignant.

Oh. My. Ghoul.
When I started reading this (in eng); I wasn't sure what to expect. I like this actress, and I was curious to discover her as an author. Well. I fell in love with her quill. All in simplicity, but straightforward. I don't have the words. I read it in one day, at once. I love. A real favorite. Heart touching.

Petition to rearrange the alphabet so I no longer have to shelve this insipid celebrity diary next to Sylvia Plath

Out of nearly 100 entries in this collection, only a small handful felt remotely substantive. The rest are a sentence—two at most—and are standard postmodern poetry that reads as closer to journal entries. Take this:
This collection felt rushed with filler like this. Recollections of relationships that always feel like they're floating at the surface, no greater introspection or devices at work. Stronger editorial guidance to actually tie loose threads together might have solidified this collection for me. It's difficult for these poems to actually work with each other because the moments with gravity get buried deep into the middle. Idk, this could've worked a lot better and just left me wanting much more depth. Time to get out of the pool, I guess.
This is how I know
I love you so much.
Whenever I see something
beautiful, I want you to
see it, too
